Rabbi Isakov, wounded in Dagestan, brought to Israel for further medical treatment

Late in the evening of July 25, Rabbi Arthur (Ovadiya) Isakov, who was wounded in Dagestan as a result of an attempt on him, was brought to Israel for further medical treatment. Rabbi Isakov was hospitalized to the hospital "Beilinson" in Petah Tikva.

Let us remind you that at night on July 25, Ovadiya Isakov, the 40-year-old Rabbi of the Derbent synagogue, was severely wounded. He went home when an unidentified person opened fire on him. The Rabbi was hospitalized to the central hospital of Derbent in serious condition with a through wound, and he fell into a coma.

Late in the evening, Ovadiya Isakov was brought to the hospital "Beilinson" of the Israeli city of Petah Tikva. At present, doctors assessed the state of the Rabbi as serious, but stable, the "ITAR-TASS" reports with reference to Rabbi Aaron Gurevich.

According to the Aaron Gurevich's report, Rabbi Isakov is unconscious. "However, the doctors are optimistic, though they hesitate to do any long-term forecasts..."

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that investigators do not rule out that the attempt on the Rabbi in Dagestan is connected with his religious activities.
